Titoism

Titoism is a Yugoslavian communist ideology that originated in 1948 when Josip Broz Tito, the leader of the World War II Yugoslav Partisans, refused to adopt Stalinist practices. Titoism criticized the authoritarian views of Joseph Stalin and broke off from the Comintern, and he instead implemented workers' self-management and profit sharing. Stalin accused Tito of being a right-wing nationalist, a council communist, and a social democrat, but Yugoslavia's semi-free market allowed for Yugoslavia to have a high standard of living and a great economy, unusual for most Eastern Bloc nations during the Cold War. Tito also favored international cooperation instead of "socialism in one country", as he was affiliated with the Non-Aligned Movement and had friendly relations with the West. Even after the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1992, many people in the formre Yugoslavia supported the reunification of the country due to the income inequity, economic hardships, and corruption that followed its dissolution.
